The great wall, is the national emblem of the people's Republic of China on the Totem, the great Sun Yat-Sen's comments in a cloud of the great wall: "China's most famous works, the great wall. Works of ancient without their horses in the world the only spectacle. "We generally refer to it in addition to the bottom of our hearts, not to praise. However, in the history of China, the great wall: haven't played with it received considerable praise?.
We first look at whether the purpose of construction of the Great Wall to achieve the maximum. So the ancients built the Great Wall, the intention is "because of the terrain, with the dangerous system plug" - in other words, is to build artificial barriers against foreign invasion. Also talk about, with the Great Wall can withstand the external plundering nomads, domestic produce a cohesive, pressure people into the city to a center of power. However, so far as the military role, the Wall are not designed by the rulers of central defensive purposes, once the Empire lost military strength and the Central Plains, Wall would be empty.We only Han Chinese in the history of the two being defeated by another race war, for example: 1213 year from July to August, only shooting Eagles donated by Genghis Khan took on the great wall, the first of the fortress city of Xuanhua. Immediately following the fall of a fortress, Genghis Khan Huailai personally led a team of Mongol Cavalry forge chongsha over, killing the Golden Army "accumulated dead as rotten wood", then the total collapse of the whole army jinbing, along with the demise of the Jin dynasty, with the demise of the song – the great almost anything outside of combat. The late Ming dynasty, the Qing had access to the Great Wall if unhindered, even the Great Wall as a dispensable ornament, to the modern times, although the Great Wall is still in, but still holding their guns and cannons of the foreign devils who blew open the Qing Empire closed-door. Long history, ancient civilization and splendid culture, all pride, and pride would not help.At that time, the great wall is like taking off their long, stiff on the hard ground of poverty, "but for future generations view"! in this regard, the Qing Emperor Kangxi has very good evaluation – 1691, Choi Yuen-gubeikou Commander, he moved to the Imperial Court under the jurisdiction of the band "the great wall, decay, line built." Kangxi period considered, the advice is written: "the great Qin, the Han, Tang, song, which is also used to repair it immense suffering from when the Ming dynasty emperor Commission? I run its soldiers, road collapse, Mon. Visible for official State, but built Tak on people. The foundation of Yuet people get, but the border from the solid, the so-called 'surmount' who is also. . ".
Of course, if the wall just lost its defense capabilities, maybe it's not a big problem – after all, firearms, a strong fortress walls would not be impossible: World War II by the Maginot line. Problem is, the existence of the great wall, as well as its negative impact on China, the largest side, that is the great wall blocking the civilization.
Some people said, speaking of outer city walls, there is no qualitative difference between Eastern and Western European history, the Principality of the outer city walls is not rare things, but smaller than the Great Wall, more closed, why not bring up the West and China in general national policy of the people? In fact, the enclosing walls and the Great Wall, although the quality of the building materials are considered brick, earth, rock, and the like, but the quality of culture, the Yidongyixi are very different: China's Great Wall is the free flow of defense articles strange way of life shaped barriers, the European cultural circle enclosing walls of the circular building divided into political spheres of influence.However, Europe is indeed one of the great wall of China is similar to the Strip barriers, it is to build the great wall, the Roman Empire, the Great Britain-the Rhine, Danube between blockade of Defense--black--patiya great wall. Roman Empire in this sea and land of the great wall stretches for miles just caused a similar policy of the people of China. So the Western Roman Empire and the decline of the Qin and Han Jin, of Byzantine period of authoritarian corruption is world-famous. Examine the Roman wall, built of nature will find their motives and China as the barrier between different cultures. But the Roman wall also failed to adequately realize. On the contrary, the enclosing walls of medieval Europe has developed into commercial territories of the outer city walls, the garden has become a new civilization for the formation of modern civilization provides a breeding ground for dot. Moreover, the medieval church in Europe is also a strong spirit world to communicate with the living among the feudal territory. Throughout 2000 years of Chinese history, we also feel that the historical role and value of the Great Wall, at the time of its construction have many limitations. The history of the Chinese nation, should be 56 ethnic history, the Great Wall has always been a nomadic military means to deal with the North.The history of the construction of the wall most times, the maximum quantity of the Ming dynasty to the North and Northwest of ethnic hostility to the deepest and the most conservative and incompetence of the Empire. It is precisely because of the great wall was built, fixed the bounds of the agriculture and livestock, limiting people's interaction and integration, block economic development. Not to mention that under the mat for generations of masonry service artisans of bones, the brothers splashed sparks national mutual slaughter of blue blood.
Lu Xun wrote in May 1925 of the "Great Wall" article goes, "The Great Wall! This project, although the map still has its small image, a little knowledge of all the world's people, probably all know the strike . In fact, never die, but many workers labor in vain only man of honor and so is to resist. now, but a kind of monument, but a time will not be totally destroyed, or even save it. I feel surrounded by the Great Wall around. This is the Great Wall The composition of materials, is the old Guzhuan and restocking of the new brick. two things together to create spaces in the city wall, the people surrounded. when the new bricks do not give it the Great Wall Tim?..
This great and great wall can be a curse! "so we can take great pride and praise it, it will be closed, conservative, stand still, self-appointed arrogant and deceiving themselves deeply in the heart of our nation, it is essentially a huge monument to the tragedy.
